"But of course!"
A month or so ago, Her Excellency Buckland Cross asked me if I would like to contribute lampworked beads to a collaboration to be used for the Runnymede Largess exchange happening at Pennsic. The collaboration was with Christiane Truelove, Jenevra de Carvalhal and Suellen Tatrai for their embroidery. They are GORGEOUS! How could I say no?! I was absolutely thrilled to! Especially for Ostgardr, who was the sponsoring group that fostered my former Shire out of incipiency.
